Subject: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM: MR. KOFFI MOHAMED
DIRECTOR, UNIK GLOBAL
SECURITIES
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH-AFRICA
TEL: 27--73 572-6676
TRANSFER OF US$25.5M FOR INVESTMENT.
I am Mr. Koffi Mohamed, the Director of Delivery/Operations Unik Global
Securities, South Africa. Our firm is a security company of high repute with
years of outstanding service to the people of Africa especially top
government officials and military leaders here in Africa.
I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business
proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us. To be explicit and
straight to the point. Some time early 1997,a reputable client of ours
deposited a consignment in our company's vault for safe keeping. And since
then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which
has accumulated a considerable amount of money in demurrage.
Consequently, in our bide to contact this client to redeem the demurrage
which his consignment had accumulated I discovered that our client was the
former president of the Federal Republic of Zaire, who died of illness after
he was dethroned in the same year the consignment was entrusted into our
care. Since the death of our client President Mobutu Sese seko, none of his
benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means
that non of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment.
Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the box that our client
deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the box that
were registered as treasure by our client actually contained a considerable
amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about US$25.5million
US Dollar. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly.
I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this
money out of South Africa to your country for immediate investment with your
assistance. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 40%
of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your
willingness to assist me of this transaction,
I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this
consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of
the complete funds to your country for onwards investment. This transaction
is 100%risk free.
Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter. I await your most
prompt response through my telephone number or my mailbox.( 0027-73
572-6676.)
Yours faithfully
KOFFI MOHAMED
